“What‘s that?”

I could feel everyone looking at me, but I was used to it. One thing my dad taught me early and often was to act like nothing moved me. When you‘re special, like we were, people were bound to notice.

I saw the movie years ago, and I liked it, but in the book, he is covered in fur and claws and fangs and is home schooled. Lots of sarcasm humor and a quick read.

4✨ While this took me a long time time to read (Almost 2 months) I loved it! Where it got be stuck was the middle part when Kyle was in despair and so depressed it was a woe as me fest. Then Lindy came into the picture and there was hope. There was tie ins to other fairy tales in a chat room ran by Mr. Anderson.⬇️

I enjoyed this Beauty and the Beast retelling. It takes place in NYC and the beginning really gives you a thorough idea of how much this Beast is a jerk. This version also gives us more of the witch who cursed Beast. And it makes our Belle‘s father a terrible father for those who view him as horrible for allowing Belle in the original story to take his place as prisoner. I would read more by this author. Thank you #NWC for this pick back in July

#boundtogetherjune @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620 #Rose I am a huge fan of fairytale retellings and Alex Flinn is such a great YA writer. I love this series.

Spent a good day reading this book - the second on my list for #ReadYourSign ✌️

This YA novel was a very enjoyable reimagining of one of my favourite fairy tales. It made me think about the kind of beauty that‘s really important and how we all need love, especially when stuck indoors. 7/10

A modern day take on "Beauty and the Beast" set in New York City. The author does nicely to follow the typical story pattern of "Beauty and the Beast" with a flair of the modern. It's a quick young adult romance novel that will at least keep you entertained for a few hours.

This book was cute & sweet & exactly what I needed, after the epic disappointment of my last read. The writing was fine. I thought the author did a particularly good job of capturing the terrible side of teenage boyhood, but I wish the heroine had more depth. I was also surprised by how closely the plot & dialogue mirrored the actual fairytale — I‘d have liked it more if the story had been a little more in touch with the setting & the time. ★★★☆☆.

#currentlyreading | is this my 6939636386779996th Beauty & the Beast retelling? Probably. But at least I know what to expect out of *this* romance, & a girl could use some help to reset her battered romantic compass!

This was a fast, fun read which transported the story of a Beauty and the Beast to modern day New York. A private school for children of NYC‘s elite, a rich, spoiled kid too good looking and arrogant for his own good, a scholarship student who doesn‘t quite fit in and some tough lessons to learn. I do enjoy a fairy tale retelling & this was perfect for a quick Saturday night read. 🥀

🤨

No he didn‘t. He died in Paris.

I realize this book is just a fun fairy tale retelling for the YA set—and I am enjoying it on that level—but even in such books, mistakes like this pull you out of the story.

Google really is your friend in these situations...

It‘s back to the TBR deep dive for me. Next up, a book past me likely picked because it‘s a retelling of a fairy tale. I never saw the movie, so no comment on it, but the book garnered some good reviews. Hopefully this makes for an entertaining Saturday night read. Let‘s find out!

Such a good book! 100% recommend!
This book kept me turning the pages, I didn‘t want it to end. Trust me it‘s worth reading!
I need a book to read that‘ll keep me turning pages!! Please let me know if you have any recommendations!#beast #love #romantic #alexflinn #loveisneverugly

I got to p76 before I just could not turn one more page. Every character is so lacking in depth, there is zero complexity to the story. I‘m shocked this series is as popular as it is.

This book is inspired by my favorite fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. What made me want to read this book for the first time was because, the movie was about to come out. When I read the story it was definitely much better than the movie.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#Beastly #AlexFlinn #BeautyAndTheBeast #epicreads #bookqueen #bookreview #booked #booktoday #booknerd #bookgeek #booklove #bookporn #bookdesign #bookhoarder #bookhaul #bookjunkie #bookcollection #bookart

Love

I snagged another Alex Flinn retelling at the thrift store yesterday. I haven't read them yet, but y'all know I'm a sucker for a good retelling. Also, I made a book flower! #bookhaul

Finished on Serial Reader today...

This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but the writing is really not great.

I watched the movie years ago and remember liking it (but that may have just been because of Alex Pettyfer 😂). One of those rare instances where the movie is better!

⭐️⭐️

I'm close to the end of this #SerialRead on the #nook app, so I'm confident that this rating won't change.

The dialogue is silly. Kyle is annoying. He chooses Adrian as his Beast name - it means Dark One.

If I want to see Beauty & the Beast with the Dark One, I'll rewatch Once Upon a Time.

I should clarify that I HATE the Twilight saga. I'm guessing if you don't, you'll like this more than I did.

Started the book through #NookApp as a serial read. It was going slowly, so I found the book at the library, and checked it out.

I enjoyed the take on Beauty and the Beast, but felt that it was a bit superficial. Though it was nice to see that it wasn't all Disneyfied, that you know Lindy is a "prisoner"
